BYU UTAHVAULT VAULTMeghan Donahue 9.650 Kristen Riffanacht 9.475Megan Pessoa 9.750 Stephanie Lim 9.800Kirsten Pauga 9.825 Melissa Vituj 9.925Jaime Mabray 9.850 Nicolle Ford 9.925Marie-Helene Claveau 9.750 Rachel Tidd 9.925Trisha Ashton 8.975 Annabeth Eberle 9.975VT: 48.825; Running: 48.825 VT: 49.55; Running: 97.500Utah vault notes:Kristen Riffanacht seemed to have troublegetting momentum going, perhaps because it isfreezing in this building. She was sloppyon the entry and then hit her head againstthe end of the vault on her landing.Stephanie Lim really got off the horseand had great amplitude. She stepped outof her landing slightly in a career best.Melissa Vituj had one of the best vaultsI've seen her do. Honestly, I didn't see asingle deduction.Nicolle Ford made sure everyone saw herstick on the landing in a great vault.Rachel Tidd threw a huge vault and absolutelynailed her landing.Annabeth Eberle barely missed getting a10.0 for the second time this season. Itlooked perfect from this chair but thesecond judge found a .05 deduction.
BARS BARSLisa Willis 9.100 Dominique D'Oliveira 9.125Jaime Mabray 9.775 Stephanie Lim 9.125Candace Bauer 9.125 Melissa Vituj 9.875Kacie Capra 9.825 Rachel Tidd 9.225Kari Lords 9.900 Annabeth Eberle 9.875Brogan Jacobsen 9.875 Nicolle Ford 9.850UB: 48.500; Running: 97.500 UB: 47.950; Running: 47.950Utah bar notesDominique D'Oliveira couldn't completeher giant full early in the routine and felloff the top bar.Stephanie Lim had a nice routine goingbefore falling off when she dropped backonto the low bar.Melissa Vituj turned a nice routine with a solidstick on her landing. She was just a littleshort on two handstands.Rachel Tidd was way too far out to catchthe bar on her Jaeger.Annabeth Eberle looked smooth throughouther routine. She had a very small hop on thedismount.Nicolle Ford did a nice job covering fora few flaws in her routine. I think sheadded something new this week.
BEAM BEAMKandis Kelly 8.550 Natalie Nicoloff 9.850Kirsten Pauga 9.350 Gabriella Onodi 9.850Jaime Mabray 9.400 Rachel Tidd 9.850Trisha Ashton 9.875 Nicolle Ford 9.925Marie-Helene Claveau 9.875 Annabeth Eberle 9.950Kari Lords 9.425 Melissa Vituj 9.875BB: 47.925; Running: 145.250 BB: 49.500; Running: 196.225Utah beam notesI thought Natalie Nicoloff made a good decisionon her series. She spent a lot of time thinkingbefore it and got herself ready for the restof the routine, which was very well executed.OK, Gabriella Onodi had an incredible countingdebut. You can't believe how much cool stuffshe did. I'm wondering if she didn't miss aconnection coming off her tuck front, becausethis was really a beauty.Rachel Tidd worked hard at this one. Her leapsand tucked front were right on target. Again,I felt like she wanted to put in a little jumpthat would have counted toward a connection. Toobad for you that I'm not a gymnastics expert!Nicolle Ford did one of the best beam routinesI have seen until a little trouble on thelanding. She absolutely nailed her flick, lay,lay series and I don't think I've ever seena tuck front landed that well. I think ifshe'd hit the dismount clean she might havegotten a 10.0.Annabeth Eberle basically beat the beaminto submission. She was totally aggressiveand confident after just a slight bobbleon her mount. I did not see a single deductionafter the mount--it was that good.Most of the final routine was vintageMelissa Vituj. She had a balance check uponlanding split jump full, but was steady asever on the rest.
FLOOR FLOORLisa Willis 9.850 Kristen Riffanacht 9.825Trisha Ashton 9.850 Stephanie Lim 9.800Jaime Mabray 9.900 Rachel Tidd 9.850Brogan Jacobsen 9.925 Nicolle Ford 9.875Marie-Helene Claveau 9.925 Annabeth Eberle 9.925Kari Lords 9.775 Melissa Vituj 9.800FX: 49.450; Running: 194.700 FX: 49.275; Running: 146.775Utah floor notesKristen Riffanacht continued her role asa good lead-off scorer. Her tumbling lookedparticularly strong.Stephanie Lim made a pitch for a full-time spotwith her first floor of the year. Competingin place of injured Gritt Hofmann (hip, believedto not be serious), Steph had great tumbling,including a really nice full-in on her firstpass.Rachel Tidd returned to the floor lineup witha bang. She missed last week with sore shins.Megan told me that her last pass was her bestthis year--something she has been working onin the gym. She also had great leaps.Nicolle Ford did a great job throughout. Hertumbling, dance, leaps and turns were all great.Megan confirmed what I was going to sayabout Annabeth Eberle's routine--it was her best.She was virtually flawless. Also, I think sheshould get extra points for her muscles.Regardless, I thought that it was good for atleast a 9.95.Melissa Vituj had a really nice routineexcept for a step out of bounds on herfirst pass. She used her James Bond routine.
